New battery-electric train to Giga Berlin (uncut footage)

Today the new battery-electric train started it's operation for Tesla at Giga Berlin.

The train is a Siemens Mireo Plus B. It can charge on electrified tracks and run on battery on non-electrified tracks. It is developed and built in Germany and uses lithium-titanium-oxide batteries from Toshiba, produced in Japan. The battery is located below the floor of the train. It can produce up to 1.7 MW of power and can reach up to 120 kilometers on battery.

It's nice to see that old diesel train was replaced with smth more eco-friendly! And thanks for your work, Tobias!

[ChristianBlueChimp]

Thanks Tobias! Great new addition to the Berlin railways.

Geil. Jetzt war ich auch schon mal mit der Bahn bei Tesla 😀 Danke, Tobi!

I know the area well from your drone flights, but this train video makes me feel exactly as though I was there, looking out the train window! Everything does look new but normal and properly sized (for ground level horizontal, not as viewed from high above out at the edge). Fun to feel the sound and the ride over tracks and into the station I've watched being built through many drone flights. This new train is beautiful, inside as well as outside. Thank you, Tobias!

Now I feel like I have ridden the train to Giga Berlin. Thank you. I hope to do so in person when I visit Berlin.

Many thanks Tobias... for a most interesting and enjoyable train ride.
I've frequently watched the regular service trains' arrivals from the Mainline onto the Branch line to the terminus shown in your aerial videos, and always wondered what the journey must be like to experience..

Danke das du uns mit genommen hast im neuen Giga Train zur Giga Factory.🔥💯🤗

😄Thanks, Tobias! Good day from GOONELLABAH, NSW, Australia! This is a great new addition to the Berlin railways. My journey began at two with a drawing on my bedroom wall in Newtown, Sydney. I went on a career as an engineer designing a railway in most of Sydney. I was the project manager and civil engineer. I worked as an engineer in Singapore from 1999 to 2005. We designed and constructed twelve-kilometre tunnels with two boring tunnel machines and five stations. I also managed 160 engineers and architects. I have been a contract engineer since 1975, Constructing sewage and water treatment plants from Melbourne to Cairns.

04:15 Pantographs (Stromabnehmer) on both units drop
Also interesting to see that the unit is rented from Siemens [Smart Train Lease], is badged as NEB, but has the Yellow branding + Baden Württemberg seat cushions Lions (4:44) from the Baden Württemberg coat of arms in south Germany! (...or perhaps a word-play on Lion-batteries ;-)

[MarcoNierop]

So cool! It got the "Giga Train" logo, in the same font as Giga Berlin!

Just before you get into the train, you see the pantographs go down, so from that moment it is running on batteries!... So cool it just charges from the overhead powerelines using the pantographs. But overall the train looks very nice, and clearly made for the short trips between Berlin and Giga Berlin.

Thank you for producing this video!! It was awesome to see the factory from ground level!!

Schöner Zug.
Quitscht zwar noch etwas, aber wird sich aber denke ich mal einlaufen.
Hoffentlich bleibt er auch lange schön sauber und wird nicht beschmiert von außen und innen.

Glückwunsch Tobias und Danke, weil Du immer der Erste bist wenn es bei Tesla wieder was Neues gibt. Hier gleich die nächste Bitte: Hat Tesla inzwischen die Kantinen alle geöffnet? Die in Shanghai sind so toll! Als ich das Video sah, ist mir das Wasser im Mund zusammen gelaufen - lecker lecker.

For me as a fan of both BEVs (particularly Tesla cars of course) AND innovative railway technology that‘s actually the moment I‘ve looking forward to for quite some time now! 🤩
Tobias, great video (as always), great achievement of Tesla, SiemensMobility and NEB !!! Although it‘s a short private siding track only, it‘s a very prominent one - and everyone can see it 🚉🔋☀️😎👍
I‘d also love to get some Diesel trains replaced by such so-called BEMU trains in my area. Tunnel ceilings are too low on that track, there‘s no space for overhead catenary, so BEMUs could also help here - but I guess I still need some patience…

[Andreas-rmyc]

That’s a train .. definitely not one that was built for Berlin or Brandenburg

[davec]

Fantastic video Tobias! Thank you for sharing it, the train is so quiet and an excellent perspective of Giga Berlin from the track and journey in!

[r.perzylo]

That was a nice experience for allowing us to see the voyage to GigaBerlin from the GigaTrain. Trademark names? Thanks Tobias, from 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦

[charlescole-pv]

we had trains like that in the US. People running the US are turning it into a third world country. Even India has high speed trains !

[kannantm]

it has nice interiors, and the last stage of the run was silent and felt different.During the start of the video there were contextual questions like its a train run on batteries on an electrified track ? what is the pantograph on this train meant for, but the later stages of the video clarified things that mattered. Defenitely useful for trains which are still energised by steam and diesel.

[jimprimo]

Amazing video, Tobias. As if I were there myself. Very, very cool. Thank you.
